This post will be FULL of pictures. Just be glad I didn't even send half of them to the blog! I had to share just some of the beautiful Colorado scenery that I miss seeing so frequently. Don't get me wrong I LOVE Texas, even the flatness of my surroundings here, but that doesn't mean I don't miss the beauty you are about to see....
My little family at the train depot in Durango, Co...do I look like a tourist or what?! I took our jackets because NORMALLY it would be cool in the mountains, this year while it was 110 back home it was 95 in Durango!!
LOVED the time we got to spend with my folks as well!
I don't think the photos do the scenery justice, but you get the idea!
The tour guide on the train told us this house on top of that mountain was Larry Bird's....hmmm...smart guy.
More breath taking scenery.
I thought this looked like fun! Fly fishing with his faithful puppy behind him.
When we win the lottery (haha) we are so doing this.....zip lining down the mountains!
I thought by age six a little girl would love the train ride. Don't get me wrong, she enjoyed it and was very well behaved the entire time, even took a lot of the pictures herself. I however, did not realize that the ride TO Silverton was 4 hours long since it was uphill....the ride back is shorter, but my parents met us up there so we could goof off all we wanted to....anyway, this was her about 3 hours in.....
And, about 3-1/2 hours in.....delirious yet?!
The story behind this one: if you can find the red dot, it is a hood of a car....and a ways above the red hood is the rest of the car that rolled off the highway up above....talk about a scary way to get down the mountain....no thank you!
And, we finally made it.....and would you believe that I did not take a single picture of the even more breath taking town of Ouray!! :o(
